A newborn baby was found wrapped in a blanket and placed inside a Jonas Brothers backpack, then left in a shopping trolley outside a grocery store in the car park in Tempe, Arizona. The baby was wearing a purple flowered onesie with a stuffed animal laying beside her. Fortunately, a passerby found the baby and called 911. In a recording of the call released by police the good Samaritan said:
"Hi, I just found a newborn baby. And she's beautiful."
"Oh my goodness, the baby was just barely born right now ... the umbilical cord was cut but it's still attached."
The caller was then asked to flick the baby's feet to make sure she was still breathing. He responded that the baby was still breathing.
Ambulance arrived an took the baby to the hospital and officials said she is doing well.
The Tempe Police Department posted a photo of the backpack on Facebook, appealing to the public for help in identifying the infant and hopefully, her mother.
According to Arizona's Safe Haven Law states that a person can leave a newborn at a designated location, such as a fire station or hospital, and not be subject to criminal charges as long as the infant is less than three days old.
The grocery store where the baby was left was a few miles away from a Police station.

This might not be the right solution, buh it's far better dan situations where ladies leave d new born in d bush, road side, gutters an even pit toilets. Whatever happens to hospital, police stations, Church, big companies and even celebrities home. Since NGOs, govt and parents have warned abt sex before marriage, yet pple won't listen. Let nigerian govt make rules dat will save these new borns from being killed period
ReplyDeleteErrrn, you say?
DeleteWhy celebrities home????? Because they have fame?? What kind of behaviour is that? Do u know what that particular celebrity is facing? They may even be broke. This is how people misyarn and misbehave. This is why everyone is always begging celebs on social media and insulting them anyhow. They are fellow people like you and me living thier life. You will just assume you can dump your baby in thier house are they now a charity? Na wa for Nigerians oh.
